Our building manager appears to be particularly dumb and incompetent. Another ongoing problem we've had is that the emergency lighting in the stairwell didn't work, which meant that if a real fire or earthquake took out the actual power system everybody would have to stumble downstairs in the dark. Imagine the chaos, not to mention the danger!!
That one took months to fix -- every so often we'd get a memo warning us that the power was going off at 6.00pm (they were careful to do it outside office hours) so that the emergency lighting could be tested. And every memo promised us that this would be the last test 'cos it really was fixed this time. Honest!
And then a couple of weeks later they'd do it all again. I lost count of the number of times they went through this loop.
They've been very quiet of late, so I assume it's fixed, but I wouldn't take any bets on it.
